In addition, firmware 1.54 for the PS3 system is now available for download, providing enhancements to the video chat functionality.

Below are the details on the new offerings from the PLAYSTATION Store:

  • Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection ($19.99) – The hit that exploded onto the PSP system and arcades now sets out to conquer a new platform, the PS3 system, in stunning 1080p* HD resolution!

Firmware 1.54 includes the following updates:

Screen Mode has been added as an option in the options menu for video chat. The image of the person you are chatting with during video chat can now be changed to match the screen size. You can now use a compatible USB camera (webcam) compliant with USB video class (UVC) for video chat.

To install the latest system software on your PS3 system, you can select the System Update feature, use a PC to download the update data and transfer it to the PS3 system through storage media or a USB mass storage device, or install it using update data included on an upcoming game disc.
